Milk Dairy with Heart and Hand
Biomilk AG is a Swiss milk dairy based in Worb in the canton of Bern. Since 1989, the company has processed organic and biodynamic milk from regional farmers into drinking milk, cream, yogurts, quarks, desserts, kefir drinks and fresh cheese. Every year, the producers supply around 1.3 million litres of cow milk and 100'000 litres of sheep milk to the Demeter dairy in Worb. The processing is done naturally and gently by hand – without the addition of milk powder, and the fat content remains natural. In addition, the dairy produces the products of the brand «Chäsi Worb» from conventional milk of the region. The products are available in organic food stores, health food shops and dairy specialty shops throughout Switzerland, in selected Coop and Migros branches in the Bern region and at Alnatura. For businesses, kitchens and restaurants, yogurts, quarks and milk are also filled in large containers.
